The Nonprofit Practices Institute (NPI) is excited to offer a 5-week drop-in series designed to empower nonprofit leaders to take an active role in the management of their health and wellness.

This “Drop-Into Mindfulness Series” will highlight key points on what Mindfulness is and how it can be used to effectively manage stress and increase attentional skills. This will be done via practicing a mix of standing, walking or seated practices. Each session will focus on a different Mindfulness concept and practice to give employees a break from their work, mentally and physically. The practice often leaves people feeling refreshed and focused.
